What, you mean because VAR picked up an obvious foul that the on-field ref missed? I'm not happy Everton are winning by any means, but it was the right call to give it.

Ooof. Right in the nads for Cornet 😬

When both feet go off the ground simultaneously like that, it's quite obviously not the contact from the defender that causes it. Mike Dean though innit.

That's been their specialty all season.

If Jay-Rod were to score the winner here it would be extra sweet.

Did he use that as a platform to air his opinions? No. Sky took a commercial decision not to renew his contract, along with Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson at the same time. Were they all 'cancelled' then?

Well Lineker is employed by the BBC after all. So he must be a deep state plant. Never mind the fact he is constantly criticising the government on Twitter. That's just a smokescreen, obviously. And MLT hasn't been cancelled FFS. He's just been rightly criticised and ridiculed for sharing something without engaging in any critical thinking about it. He's still free to Tweet whatever he likes. Cancelled would be having his Twitter account removed from him.

It's really chilling to think this was published by Russian state media... https://medium.com/@kravchenko_mm/what-should-russia-do-with-ukraine-translation-of-a-propaganda-article-by-a-russian-journalist-a3e92e3cb64 Mad to think that many (including MLT) believe the BBC and other western MSM is just as bad.

Including 3 year old girls?

Rory Delap is in the top ten of all time set piece takers? WTF!?

Pompey currently drawing with Bolton. They'll be 12 points off the playoff places tonight if it stays that way. What a shame.

More to the point, did he not see Palace thrashing Everton 4-0 in the FA Cup the other week!

He lost it long ago. Seems he's fallen hook, line and sinker for the Qanon conspiracy bollocks.

Watford beat them 5-2 at Goodison earlier in the season. As we discovered to our cost recently, they are capable of grinding out important wins. And Everton have the worst away record in all the English leagues this season. Been saying it for a while now - they don't have the stomach for a fight and will be favourites to go down if they lose at Turf Moor.

Battery technology is improving rapidly at the moment though, and it doesn't appear that the host of the lecture you attended was up to date on some of the more recent advances, like this one... https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/12/211206220020.htm

I just worry about our scoring ability at the moment. Broja has gone off the boil (and can't play on Saturday anyway) and the rest of our forwards are awfully profligate. We gave them a proper game in the cup earlier in the season, so we know we can compete with them, but to get anything out of this game we'll need to rely on our strikers actually taking their chances and for Chelsea to waste theirs.

FT. 2-1. I bet Lampard is wishing he had never taken that job.

That's been their tactic for most of the season TBF. Richarlison is a master at going down theatrically from minimal/no contact.

Everton losing at WH, to nobody's surprise. Their 6-pointer at Turf Moor in midweek will decide their fate IMO. If Burnley win that, I reckon they will stay up and Everton will go down.

Given how poor he has been in recent games, I don't think it will affect our chances that much.

Christ, you two are just relentless. At what point do you just go "yeah, maybe you've got a point" and just leave it at that?

Dunno. It might make Tuchel make some unnecessary panic changes next week that might work in our favour.

Yes. It's surprising the commentators didn't really mention that.

I wouldn't say lucky. Leeds might have just edged it in terms of possession in the attacking third, but they didn't create any more than we did and we had more shots on target in the end. Well deserved point I reckon.

It was a total mis-hit that was never going to trouble the keeper.
